Higher Water




Was supposed to go to Giants game...but woke up with soar throat...so curled up...until noon!...made it to Post Office...came back through Cook's...Polliwogs there...wouldn't have noticed but tourists were peering into Coot's Pond...met with friends at dinner in Siberia...after another nap!....and heard about the catastrophe at Lower Falls...a giant Cedar fell over on the Bridge...after dinner we walked out there...the top of the Cedar was cleared away...two climbers were on the wall to the left of the Lower Falls..and happened along with coiled ropes still on their shoulders..."We heard a loud bang and saw the tree fall, the top broke off when it struck and flipped over the bridge!" The Falls make their own wind storm...and there was lots of mist...brb...no reports up yet...can only hope they're not grim....I imagine it was frightening to everyone....while Half Dome was doing its show I walked along Creek...wanted to see it's level...it's higher now than at any previous point...it's hard to tell as it fluctuates with different times of the day!....the Twin Fallen Trees are under water...got a clip of Mallards there romancing......very warm but cooled off after sunset...
